Today I had the opportunity to travel up the coast to see my coach for a one on one session. I have long been struggling with my Snatch and Overhead Squat. When programming my own workouts, I have shied away from large doses of either one of those movements. Now that I have to answer to a coach, there are not enough excuses to keep from doing the work that's handed to me. So, today, Nathan, got a first hand look at the weaknesses in my personal arsenal of Olympic lifts. We spent a couple of hours assessing where the flaws are and building a strategy to turn the weaknesses into strengths. I've got to say, the road ahead will be difficult, to say the least. Nathan promised more overhead strength work and many flexibility exercises to increase my range of motion in my shoulders. Good stuff.
I want to thank Nathan Holiday for his insight and coaching. I want to thank Lamarr Smith for letting me use his facility, CrossFit Next Level Performance.
